MNTrax GPS Map Card for Lowrance & Garmin GPS Units

Does anyone use this? Seem like pretty old data for $79.00. I would be interested in the WMA info, the rest is not that big of deal I guess. What do you think?

I'm currently got some Lakemaster products, some Navionics stuff, and some Trax gear as well. For lakes that have 1' or 3' contours, I usually use them. However, I've found the Trax topo info to be very accurate.

However, when it comes to hunting- I've never seen anything that can hold a candle to the Trax products. On my WY elk hunts the info from the WYTrax chip was totally invaluable to us being able to go places that we would have had no idea about without it. I've found a bunch of cool spots in MN with the MNTrax that I didn't realize were public too.

MNTRAX 2011 contains the most recent data available from Forest Service, BLM, DNR, and many other collectors of GIS data. I assume the reference is being made to the lake data and yes the lake data on the MNTRAX card is from the DRN lake data and some of that is quite dated. However, any other company who is not claiming 1 foot contours of a lake is most likely using the same data. MNTRAX is the only mapping system for MN including hunting, fishing, hiking, and other outdoor activities all together. The last thing I would call a TRAX card is dated when it was just updated less than 1 month ago to MNTRAX 2011. $79.99 is an incredible bargain for this map.
